In Zayden the Zebra Dreams BigDreams, Zayden fantasizes about all the different things he can be when he grows up. Harry the Happy Hopper and his friends encourage Zayden’s ambitions, but some discouraging words from Melba the Mean Mule make him question whether he will ever reach his goals. Zayden gets to decide whether he will heed Mayor Mason’s words: “A dreamer is for dreaming the BIGGEST of dreams! So dream it and do it no matter how hard it seems.”
